HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide (T5494-96539, October 2012)

two HP P6000 EVA storage systems with array-based HP P6000 Command View (STOR02 and
STOR05).
The HP Management Integration Framework software on SVR01 and SVR07 was automatically
installed as part of the installation of server-based HP P6000 Command View and HP P6000
Performance Advisor. The HP Management Integration Framework software on STOR02, and
STOR05 was factory installed. Every machine with HP Management Integration Framework software
can detect and communicate with the other similar machines on the LAN. For more information,
see Management Integration Framework discovery.
Management Groups
A key feature of HP Management Integration Framework software is security integration, which
allows aggregation of machines into Management Groups. All members of a Management Group
can participate in a single sign-on environment.
Referring to the illustration, assume that each of the five machines was initially in its own
Management Group. This would have occurred automatically, either during installation of
server-based HP P6000 Command View, or during factory manufacture. Communicating over the
LAN, the five machines inform each other of their Management Integration Framework capabilities.
Using the Management Integration Framework security interface, a security administrator could
assign the five machines to one Management Group.
Then, rather than having to use five sets of security credentials, users could log in to any of the five
machines with a single user credential (user name and password).

The Single Pane of Glass interface displays multiple HP P6000 EVA storage applications, such as
HP P6000 Command View and Performance Advisor, in a single browser window. And when
multiple storage management servers or storage systems with array-based management have been
included in a Management Group, the interface displays all of the managed storage systems in
the single browser window. For more information, see Single Pane of Glass interface.
